Fangorn The Tiger- At Home With The Furries

After we’d breathed fire with Saethwr, we headed off to Swansea to meet up with a tiger. Fangorn tweeted me after the Sunday Times ran the furry series saying he would love to take part in the project, and once I’d seen his suit I had to agree. It’s what we call in the trade…

Saethwr the Dragon-At Home With The Furries

Two weeks ago, I photographed a red dragon who lives in Cardiff, there I’ve said it. Surely I don’t have to explain any further. Saethwr, pronounced Sa-thea is a furry with a particulary interesting fursuit, one of most unique in the UK, he’s a great big dragon with massive wings. We’ve been speaking for a…

The furries take a Time Out!

In today’s Time Out London, you’ll find a nice little feature I worked on with the legendary Alix Fox, a report on the Londonfurs weekender. There’s a big boat trip this Friday, I’ll be popping along on the Saturday for a pint so see you there! To see more of my furry adventures including the…

Pazuzu vs Kebab-At Home With The Furries

Spoiler Alert: There were no kebabs eaten, I think Pazuzu is really a secret salad eater. Soon as we got in there, he could not make up his mind. A sure sign of someone who’s guzzling sorrel, lettuce and tomatoes on a regular basis. Pazuzu is quite unusual for a furry as he really plays…

Pazuzu and Fruitloop-At Home With The Furries

As if meeting a motorbike riding raptor wasn’t enough, a short costume change later and we have two very different personalities. Pazuzu and Fruitloop, a demon lord and a bat respectively. Pazuzu kicks off to a very innocent question from me about where he’s from, informing me in quite strident tones that he’s not merely…

Rebel and Godzuki-At Home With The Furries

A dinosaur on a motorbike, well stranger things have happened although I’m struggling to think of anything this recent. Anyway this was a velociraptor, only the coolest dino on the block. Saturday saw us (that is me and Lauren Marchant-my assistant) head up to Milton Keynes to continue with the furry project. Her name is…

The Furries Strike Back

I’m starting to run out of Star Wars analogies, I don’t think we want to bring in the first three movies as reference points really, sorry George!! Here’s a bunch of portraits I shot of the furries at a recent meeting, I’m always shooting Instagrams of them for reference, but sometimes it’s just nice to…

Who are @Rawfmt?

Last Friday I went to a show of Coventry University’s latest photography graduates, it was called Raw Format and showcased a selection of the work from the final year students. It was being shown at The Strand Gallery in Charing Cross. With a foreword to the exhibition by Jon Levy, these guys mean business. There seemed…

Return of the furries

Next month I’m visiting sunny Wales for a double shoot with Saethwr, he’s the red dragon of Cardiff. Why of course!! And Fangorn, a tiger based near Swansea. I’ve been meaning to photograph Saethwr for quite a while, and I’m pleased that we’re hooking up. His suit is something special, as naturally a red dragon…

Yesterday something extraordinary happened, I got an email from my website provider, Digital Photo Gallery saying I’d used up 90% of my monthly bandwidth. So what, you may say? You’re a popular guy, people like your website. Well I hope they do, nice of you to say!! People were viewing the Furry project every second…
